Using a Raspberry-Pi HQ camera

[Ciemon]

I wonder if anyone is using a Raspberry-Pi HQ camera as a weather cam and how they might be feeding that into Meteobridge?

If not, what's your solution to getting your images/stream to the web?

I don't know the answer about the RPi HQ camera, I've just used an IP camera and pulled the feed from that.

I got a Reolink camera and followed the thread here:

I followed one of the guides to add the camera via weather station addition tab, sorry, can't seem to find that guide right now, that part was easy, then getting the weather net tab to work was a bit more complicated as initially I couldn't get it to work as the default templates don't seem to work, but as I posted here once I found different coding which works great:

There is another post on the forum from October last year asking for the addition of local webcam support (including RPi), but it has no replies, so I guess it's ignored. Seems like a good addition if practical, I'd certainly hook-up an old webcam to weather cam service.

There are currently no plans to code support for a "Raspberry-Pi HQ Camera".

However, you might be able to do your own. All you need to do is to provide a stand-still jpeg image accessible via HTTP. This can also be within the public HTML folder of the Meteobridge itself.

Thank you both, I've moved on from the HQ camera... in true Linux fashion it's incredibly capable but only if you can work out how to configure the camera get good quality images out of it which I couldn't.

So the HQ cam is back in the project drawer and I've bought a Foscam G4EP and will get that uploading in due course.
